Events

Match Events

0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at BMO Field!
5' The travelling Chicago Fire FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
10' Chicago Fire FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Gaston Gimenez suffering a number of foals already.
20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty made 280 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
25' Spencer Richey has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
30' Lorenzo Insigne has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 2 goals to his name this season.
31' Chicago Fire FC ring the changes. Chris Brady has done his job and it is now time for Spencer Richey to step up.
34' The referee has no hesitation. Miguel Navarro is booked for Chicago Fire FC — Yellow card on 34.
39' Chicago Fire FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Robin Lod scoring 1 goals.
44' Chicago Fire FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
45' Mark-Anthony Kaye was booked on 45.
47' Georgios Koutsias makes way for Brian Gutierrez at the 47 minute mark. A tactical switch from Chicago Fire FC.
52' It is a cagey affair so far. Toronto FC in their 4-3-3 trying to find a way past Chicago Fire FC's compact 3-4-2-1.
57' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
60' It is a substitution in Toronto FC team. Kosi Thompson is replaced by Brandon Servania on 60 minute.
64' The supporters are chanting for Kacper Przybylko. He replaces Miguel Navarro on 64 minute.
69' The home supporters are growing impatient. Toronto FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
74' Chicago Fire FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
77' Toronto FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Hugo Mbongue is hanging Gaston Gimenez on the field on 77 minute.
82' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
87' Federico Bernardeschi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 49 Yellow cards this season.
Game over. The scoreline of 0-0 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
